Heaven Knows - When In Rome

She's always on my mind From the time I wake up 'Til I close my eyes She's everywhere I go She's all I know And though she's so far away It just keeps getting stronger every day And even now she's gone I'm still holding on So tell me where do I start 'Cause it's breaking my heart Don't wanna let her go Maybe my love will come back someday Only Heaven knows And maybe our hearts will find their way Only Heaven knows And all I can do is hope and pray 'Cause Heaven knows My friends keep telling me That if you really love her You've gotta set her free And if she returns in kind I'll know she's mine But tell me where do I start 'Cause it's breaking my heart Don't wanna let her go Maybe my love will come back someday Only Heaven knows And maybe our hearts will find their way Only Heaven knows And all I can do is hope and pray 'Cause Heaven knows Why I live in despair 'Cause wide awake or dreaming I know she's never there And all the time I act so brave I'm shaking inside Why does it hurt me so Maybe my love will come back someday Only Heaven knows And maybe our hearts will find their way Only Heaven knows And all I can do is hope and pray 'Cause Heaven knows Heaven knows Heaven knows

Every night it's the same I feel your heart turn cold as rain And know that you'll be gone again I hear the front door close You say you got to go downtown I guess there's someone else you've found So why you're still coming 'round Heaven only knows Heaven only knows just why Loving you should make me cry Make me feel like I could die That's the way it goes Heaven only ever sees How love's made a fool of me I guess that's how it's meant to be but Heaven only knows I've heard it said that talk is cheap But still your words they cut so deep Lay me crying in my sleep And the pain just grows I don't know who's right or wrong But all we had is dead and gone So why you keep me hanging on Heaven only knows Heaven only knows just why Loving you should make me cry Make me feel like I could die That's the way it goes Heaven only ever sees How love's made a fool of me I guess that's how it's meant to be but Heaven only knows I'm gonna turn and walk away There's nothing left for me to say It wouldn't change things anyway Though, I suppose The love I gave was always true Well, I don't know what else to do And how I'll ever get over you Heaven only knows Heaven only knows just why Loving you should make me cry Make me feel like I could die That's the way it goes Heaven only ever sees How love's made a fool of me I guess that's how it's meant to be but Heaven only knows

You're no dame, I'm no duke Somehow love is a fluke We've survived thick and thin Taking knocks on the chin In the eyes of the sad We may be barking mad But the truth has been ceased We are like chalk and cheese You wind me up and I drive you mad It's a fact of life, it goes hand in hand And I know that look, it's read like a book And I realize I don't care what the world has to say You should know that I love you I love you I love you today I don't care what the world has to say Heaven knows that I'm in love I don't care what the world has to say Heaven knows that When the boat starts to rock Then my ears start to block All the words that you say Through the night, through the day Where there's muck there is brass And the storm soon will pass Then it's back to the norm All the cold turns to warm Sometimes I think life crawls like a snail And all of our dreams become the wind in your sails Without wealth it's true, who cares what you do And I realize I don't care what the world has to say You should know that I love you I love you I love you today I don't care what the world has to say Heaven knows that I'm in love I don't care what the world has to say Heaven knows that I'm in love I can feel the eyes behind us as we walk I can see the ears that listen when we talk I don't care what the world has to say You should know that I love you I love you I love you today I don't care what the world has to say Heaven knows that I'm in love I don't care what the world has to say Heaven knows that I'm in love I don't care what the world has to say Heaven knows that I'm in love I don't care what the world has to say Heaven knows that I'm in love

Hold my heart, don't let it bleed no more Sometimes forgiveness is like a man at war God only knows why love is worth the fall Maybe that's what makes it love Maybe that's what makes it love I can hear it now, the everlasting sound Roaring like a lion deep within me I won't hold it long, I wasn't made that strong Sweet surrender, hold my heart and not let go I'm letting go And Heaven knows I love you so Hold my heart, don't let it break like fear Sometimes a moment feels like a thousand years God only knows why love is drenched in tears Maybe that's what makes it love Maybe that's what makes it love I can hear it now, the everlasting sound Roaring like a lion deep within me I won't hold it long, I wasn't made that strong Sweet surrender, hold my heart and not let go I'm letting go And Heaven knows I love you so (How great Your love is) (How great Your love is) Then sings my soul Then sings my soul How great Your love is How great Your love is Then sings my soul Then sings my soul How great Your love is How great Your love is

The homeless is still homeless The poor is still poor Yet we find billions of dollars To fund senseless war. And yes, we're fighting terrorism What about the quiet racism Divided among ourselves Somebody's crying for help. Heaven is listening (listening) Heaven is watching (watching) Heaven knows (oh oh oh oh ooooohs) And they may not play this on the radio 'Cause the devil don't want you to know If we don't stop the hypocrisy The nation will lose it's soul.
